One evening in the winter of 1985, I was sitting with my blind friend, G. He and I were exploring the state ofconsciousness being opened by 5g of the potent Amazonian strain of P. cubensis, which was distributed by Terence McKenna's company, Lux Natura. This was a fairly frequent event for us that winter.

I was working with applying mindful breathing to navigate the psilocybin trance. As the trance had developed and deepened, we found ourselves drawn into a peaceful, silent stillness. While remaining focused on the breath, I suddenly noticed a humming vibration, and looking up, I saw with my inner eye, focused in one-pointed concentration, that a blue sphere of light had entered the room. I was not unfamiliar with these types of visionary phenomena, but this one was particularly compelling as its presence instantaneously brought a noticable shift in consciousness. Body, heart, and mind were all affected by its presence. The body felt a deeply soothing, yet alerting vibration that brought it into a state of entranced rapture. The heart opened into peace and joy. The mind became totally silent and clear, with awareness crystallizing into a diamond jewel of perfect lucidity. The ordinary mind dominated by thought was recognized as a pale shadow in contrast to what is possible for the mind when all its energy is gathered and concentrated into a one-pointed awareness.

As soon as I notice this humming, vibrating blue sphere, it comes in closer, and as it approaches, I begin to notice that the mind is being absorbed by this manifestation of universal intelligence. I recognize it as something deeply sacred and profound that has revealed itself and in so doing, I recognize myself as one of its manifestations. I begin to remember who I really am.

G. then asks me, "Do you see it?"

I say, "What do you see?"

He responds, "The blue sphere hovering in the air."

I respond, "Indeed!"

As the blue sphere enters my body it simultaneously expands to fill the room. Our human consciousness is completely absorbed into this deeper mind and we feel that we have at last come home to who we truly are. Then the sphere begins rapidly moving. First, it arrives in the Arctic, with the night sky and aurora borealis surging above. I find myself sitting naked on the polar ice cap, feeling the cold as energy moving through the body and mind, purifying and opening awareness to the realization that the space sustaining the glittering stars above is my mind. Only there is no "my" in Mind, it is vast and universal and the true nature of all mind. The realization arises that awareness is space.

Awareness then moves swiftly to the South, to the equatorial zones, teeming with life and activity. Consciousness becomes aware of the diversity of life and its rapid transformation, ancient in being, yet, like the stars, Mind/Space sustains life forms, but is not contained by life forms. The Mind then expands to envelope the earth and the realization arises that Gaia is awake and aware of itself in the field of Mind.

I return to the room I'm sitting in with G. and the blue sphere, and realize that this Mind is now looking out through the eyes of this body and the little "me" that used to think it was this body, is no longer. This body is a manifestation of the mind of Gaia and the Universal mind as much as the trees and flowers, mountains and lakes, planets and suns, stars and galaxies. The little "me" has been swept away into the ocean of Being and is one more particle of energy shifting and transforming in the vast movement of impermanence, birth and death. All that remains is silent stillness, which extends inwardly and outwardly into infinity.

This is the touchstone by which mind now navigates life. In all action, resting in awareness of what is happening now, letting go of resistance to life. [link to www.sacredshrooms.org]

The reason why Krishna & Vishnu are blue and the cow is sacred in india ...

... but *shhh* ...

Quoting: A Fun Guy 401490

Awesome information.

I suspect that an alien race was flying by Earth, studied our physiology, looked at the brain we have, and made the mushrooms as a sort of cranial interface device to communicate with them through vast distances. It sort of turns our brain into a hyperspace communication device.

Psilocybin grows among moist cow dung, among other places. Psilocybin bruises to a soft buish tinge, if you touch it.Krishna is shown as a blue skinned god, a cow herd. This might have been an ancient anthropomorphism of the sacred mushrooms.

The color blue associated with the blue sphere mentioned above is something I wasnt aware of.

Nice post.

awsome this is true becase I always have visions of that kind of stuff in my head.I asked about their ships and the energy and the size.I was given the answer infinate. So i was like awsome big o ships crusing around. Then I asked about conflicts in space and I was shown one. It was these species of bug thingy that wouuld roam planet to planet taking over and growing. These are constantly moniterd and heardered because there is some sort of united space people. that is what I was told.me and my friend saw the orb we were freaking out we didn't know what it was.why donesn't main steam sciene uncover these mysteries.do we need world peace before this information becomes main stream or are we being oppressed.

My and my girl friend were doing like physicic stuff talking to each other with out words.

Well, yeah it could be like an organic smart phone. I quite often get a sort of crackling radio chatter, like a cb radio before the peak of transmission. The diversity of communication I find interesting. From almost movie quality scenarios to pure regular geometric tilings. At this point I have far many more questions than answers. It's almost like a level based system. There also seems to be a nefarious/joking quality. Recently received what seemed like a technician working on some sort of device. It seemed like he/it need to prevent some cascasding infinite loop of sorts. One thing for sure, the stories about the CIA getting Johns high at whore houses in NYC and San Fran are either pure bullshit misdirection or they never really had the balls for higher doses themselvers. Maybe the reason the spores are still legal is that it is a technological download/possible attack vector and it needs to be explored by as many individuals that can handle it, for national security reasons.

I googled to find this site. Because of something that happened to me while shrooming .It has changed the way I see things. It has happened to others and now I am here. I know now why it is illegal.I am reluctant to say this I feel the need to protect my experience from those who would misuse this info. However I feel there are those out there who are ready to know. I am leaving out certain information.

I do know that only certain individuals will have an experience that I am about to mention. Also keep in mindwhen you hear this I approach these experiences from a grounded perspective.

I am not sure of the strain,it was strong.We split a quarter.Stems and all in a coffee grinder, mixed the powder with grapefruit juice) reduces the nausea . It was my friends first time. He wanted to do it with me because of my past experiences with shaman related things. As I started to feel it working it was the same old feeling as usual.Then some thing strange happened,the phone rang. At 2 in the morning? who could this be? Every one that knows me would not do this because I have a baby with mom asleep. I answered the phone and heard only a sound like rushing air. So thinking maybe it was related to an emergency I star 69 it. No record of the call was made. Then my pager went off indicating a message was left I called in for the message and heard the same thing air?

That's when my friend said "what's wrong with your dogs?" I noticed they jumping/flinching like they were being bitten by something they were looking around confused. I then felt the presence of someone/thing, grabbed my 45 and headed for the door (badhood). As I reached for the door A voice (telep)said you won't need that. I then knew that It was going to be something profound,I sat it down next to the door looked at him and said "we ain't in Kansas anymore little brother, man this is gonna be an E ticket" ride! The voice said "walk out here,were here, look up and to your left". The big ass smile on my face gave him the anticipation of his first Christmas.He jumped off the couch and was right behind me.As I started down the sidewalk he was stuck, on everything especially the stars--"Wow man the stars are incredible--this tree!!!! I love this tree-the grass is so alive"!! While he was hugging this tree I am now watching this light in the sky getting closer."Dude fuck the tree--check this out, is that a plane"?both of us x- millitary-"No, I don't see anything blinking" Then there was a silence in which there was no sound at all-This is not possible in that area. No cars coming down the street,no people,no barking-NOTHING! About fifty feet up above us and 100 feet in front of us it hovers like it was hanging from a string. A light beam came from it, surrounding us. It was well, hard to put into words. All I could say was "HOLY SHIT"! and all he could say was"FUCK ME RUNNING"! It felt like home,warm ,loving ,powerfulAll the illusions of the world were gone. This was nothing like the sightings of the past. At this point there is some time missing from our memory, I will leave it at that. An interface --ya you could say that!They are particular in whom they interact with. Since then I did some shrooms with a group,I could feel their presence but they did not appear. I can feel them with me now and I am sober as I write this. One day while cooking in the kitchen I heard in the background the history channel discussing ancient mushroom cults in the middle eastand the connection to craft. They showed a painting of same craft I interacted with. Since that aired I can not find any information regarding this on their site. I was at tgif's grabbing a bite and sitting next to me was 25 year old Japanese American dude.Some how the topic comes up. He says he and some friends were shrooming out in the desert and these helicopters showed up and everybody ran thinking cops! I smiled and asked him did he remember hearing any engine noise or from the rotor? As he thought for a moment he said "no-as a matter of fact it was a dead silence". He asked me "Those were not helicopters were they"? I bought his beer and said next time don't run it could change your life. If we have any hope of survival as a species it is because of them. They have been here for a very long time.Their technology transcends any I could imagine. To any of you out there who come across this story and have had a similar experience know you are not alone. Be careful to whom you discuss this with and leave out all details that could be used in the wrong way by Posting this on an open forum. Be responsible with stuff don't drive fucked up on anything practice what you preach and always Great spirit be with you on your path.

I couldn’t figure out whether the mushroom is the alien or the mushroom is some kind of technological artifact allowing me to hear the alien when the alien is actually light-years away, using some kind of Bell nonlocality principle to communicate. The mushroom states its own position very clearly. It says, ‘I require the nervous system of a mammal. Do you have one handy?’- Terence McKena

I personally think these aliens are those big scary trees in the woods visually expressing my ever emotion and thought...good times The environment around you certainly displays a holographic structure-maybe these aliens operate and function on a different frequency/wavelength, and changing our vibrations let's them interact with us?

I've seen orbs and have know many people who said they could communicate without talking while on mushrooms.

and alot of abductees dont use drugs...That was the first thing my father said when i told him about my experience of abduction by aliens......but i really have the proof....so some may be on drugs but some not
